How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?: I first learned about the Art of Hosting in 2008 at AoH-Taking Social Innovation To Scale in Cape Ann, Massachusetts. I was interested in the AoH approach to conversations and dialogue, social enterprise, and social change work. I also wanted to strengthen my own understanding of and personal connection to my work and AoH seemed like a great way to do this.

I am a starting practitioner.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?: Participating in and hosting conversations that matter around social justice, meaningful and rewarding work, women's rights and own sense of agency, systems change, leadership studies.
